Freebie Friday with Fayette Designs

Welcome to Freebie Friday with The Cherry On Top.

I've got a new designer in the spot light.  Well, she's not new, but it's the first time I was able to work with her fabulous collections.  I'm a Creative Team Member at The CT Hot Spot.  We've got a sweet supply of designers over there and we are free to work with any or all of the collections that they are promoting. Feel free to join our forum and post your lovelies in the gallery there.

The CT Hot Spot  staff has been in the digital scrapbooking business for years.  The added up experience can be seen through quality work with marketing.  If you are a designer who'd like someone else to take care of the business/marketing side of your digital scrap, then you should give them a try.

Let's get back to some sweet inspiration from Fayette Designs and The Cherry.

Free To Be is an absolutely gorgeous collection.  Believe it or not, there is an underlying fourth of July theme that I completely ignored for both of my layouts.  Making this collection just super for anyone.  Including those living outside of the U.S.

Click on any preview to see the collections available at Pickleberry Pop.

I found this collection fabulously sassy.  So, I scrapped up my niece and her friends.  Above, I used a great template from Lissy Kay Designs, A Reel Mess.  I love adding embellishments to doodles.  It takes that flatness out and adds a splash of colour.

How creative are these girls?  Putting my nieces hair in the shape of multiple hearts.  So cute!  Such an interesting colour palette.  Various shades of blue, a bright pop of red and that lovely contrasting black to make it all stand out.

Sunshine on my Shoulder is another pretty collection from Fayette Designs.  If I absolutely had to choose, this would be THE collection to have in your stash.  Just observe the next two layouts and take note of all of the fabulous elements in this kit.  The colour palette is just magical.

The birds, this whimsical lady on her bike and once again, a black injection to grab your attention are just some of the fabulousness in this stunning collection.

I used friend's of mine vacation photos to scrap these up.

Here is the last collection I worked with, Beach Therapy.  Once again, more awesomeness than you can shake a stick at.  I used Lissy Kay Designs, Feeling Wavy templates for both of them.  This way I get a good solid, coordinating look for a double layout that'll look fantastic in an album and of course digital templates are super for when your mojo is lacking and you want to save time.

I used our own Spain vacation for these layouts.  The camera alluding JJ and some great shots of the nearby scenery in Calpe, Spain.  I am just loving these cute under water critters.  There are some journal cards in the collection I really wanted to use and plan on designing a hybrid mini with them, so stay tuned.

These colours are the epitome of the beach and will make your layouts just as great as your trip.  I've stated several times, that collections are one of the best ways to get awesome layouts.  If you're not a pro at grabbing various elements and papers from different kits and matching them just right, this is the way to go.  Your scrapping will go so much smoother and faster when you buy collections.

I like to thank the readers with a little goody and I really love today's freebie.  You could use it as I did as a border across the top of the layout.  You could add some large, coordinating word art and put it in the middle of your page, too.  Place a photo behind it and put it at an angle.  The choice is yours.  Remember it is for Personal Use only.  Click on the image to download.

And check out these fantastic promotions!!!

Here is another layout from The CT Hot Spot using Praire Song Scraps, Remember and a Lissy Kay Template, Picturesque. 

Here is a look at an upcoming, free template.  If you don't want to miss it, then you better make sure you are following us.

I've also got the July goodies ready for you and you can get those tomorrow.  I've got two, free planner inserts as well as a page of free goodies for in your planner or anywhere.

Thanks so much for making The Cherry a part of your day.

Happy Scrapping!

Throw Back Thursday With LouCee Creations and Freebies

Welcome to Throw Back Thursday with The Cherry On Top.

Thursdays, we throw it back.  Older photos and previously released kits.  Today, I've got some oldies and a newbie, as well as a couple of freebies for you.  Keep scrolling for some fabulous layout out love, a look at some lovely kits from LouCee Creations and of course, grab those freebies.

These are my boys.  Now, they are 9 and 11.  So, this was some time ago.  We were in our spot in Calpe, Spain and JJ could not stop eating sand!  Hehehe...

Here is LouCee's new collection, Islands In The Sun.  It is beyond fabulous!  I really love the way she did her elements for this one and the colours are so fun and bright.  These photos were also taken at our place in Spain, but just two years ago.

I love using an awesome large photo for my background.  That's what scrapping means to me, photos and great memories.

Take a peek at this lovely collection.  I could just play for days with it.  I love LouCee's little mouse in the bikini.  Hehehe...

Here is a glance at the entire collection.  I used all of the parts in my layout.

Here is a freebie that LouCee has on offer in her newsletter.  Click on the mouse (hehehe...) and you'll get to her blog where you can sign up for the newsletter.  She often has freebies on her blog and in the newsletter so make sure you are following.  That mouse needed a dance partner.

Now, for the throw back part.  I am not a fan of ouchy photos.  I pass out at the sight of blood and get physically ill just looking at pictures.  This photo was as bad as I could do.  Hehehe...Liam ran into the corner of the dining room table and acquired this bruise.

This is LouCee's kit, Say, Aah!  Click on the image to see the kit and add it to your stash.

Here's another one of LouCee's kits, Ooh La La.  How sassy?!  I scrapped up my mo-la's poodle who we often puppy sit.  She's such a good girl.  I had a blast designing that mega photo cluster and my embellished border along the top and bottom.

How about a sweet gifty?  Right click and download.  It is in png format.  Remember it is for Personal Use ONLY.

This free mini is also available for newsletter subscribers so join up with LouCee!

I'll be back for Freebie Friday featuring July's planner inserts.  I forgot, again!!!

I can't thank you enough for stopping by our little place.  Make sure ya do it, again!

Simple Scrapping, Album Continued

Welcome to The Cherry On Top's Traditional Tuesday.

I'm back with another page from my simply scrapped, mini album from a short trip to Trier, Germany.  The goodies I'm using are from an amalgamation of products I received in a pizza box scrap event at Tiny's Hobby in Kortrijk, Belgium.

Use minimum products, make simple, inexpensive pages and scrap fast.  Keep reading to see our tips and tricks.

This is the second page from this album.  To see the first page, click here.  The photo is fairly busy and so is the background paper so I used a contrasting, darker coloured solid paper for under the picture.   I placed it slightly to the right to benefit my title I'll put to the top left. 

I love using papers for my elements.  What an excellent way to save money.  Simply cut out the images you like and apply.

I used a large scalloped punch, some scrap from the collection and a sticker.  Embellishments made easy and at little cost.

Get a good look at my corner cluster.  I layered up a lot of leaves to give the layout interest and dimension.  I used double sided foam tape as well as huge, Zots glue dots, which are really awesome.

I applied another repetitive circle with a natural feel and some more yellow so that it all coordinates.  Repeating patterns, shapes and colours is a great way to keep your projects and layouts balanced and complete.
  

This sweet alpha was also in the pizza box.  It coordinated perfectly with the rest of the goodies.  It looked a tad bit bland on my light corner of the photo and the lighter paper so I inked them up.

As you can see, I rarely buy things at full price.  I got these nifty metallic thingies for next to nothing.  The colour is nice and warm and makes a super neat contrast to a more natural layout, like this one.  It looked a bit empty so I filled the tiny centre with itty bitty pearls.

There's the completed page.  Full of coordinating colours, repeating elements and patterns and keeping in the same look as my first page.

Scrap fast, simply and with little cost.

See ya next week and thanks so much for stopping by.
